For Canadians [and maybe everybody, I don't know] betting game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final via BET365 was a bin fire inside a clusterfuck, an abject and textbook lesson in how not to conduct a business And let me say I'm a nickel and dime bettor, so I while I do have a dog in this hunt, it is at best a Pug, but surely there are a few Great Danes out there. A few hours before game time I laid a miniscule play on Vegas as a slight dog. Watched the game, thinking I had a little interest, but as the game went to OT, I looked to bail. Thinking that Vegas had a PP to start OT, I figured that FLA might be worth a look. So I checked Bet365 and found that there was no record of my wager and that I must have failed in completing the transaction. Oops! In addition Bet365 in Ontario, CANADA! during The Stanley Cup FINAL! had no active wagers and the NHL link on their website was nowhere to be found, and live betting is unavailable. OK, no big deal, especially since I don't have a bet down. The OT starts. I get a text from Bet365, telling me that a correction has been made and to check my history. I wait for a whistle and then check my history. It seems I do have a bet on Vegas, and ten seconds later Florida scores. BET 365 let thousands of bettors believe that they did not actually make a bet by refunding the money and erasing the bet while not offering an explanation to bettors and then decided their customers actually had made a bet seconds before that bet was settled. It is an absolute disgrace.

@wizardofroz Thanks. I actually hit sixteen but fell one short of some cash. Luckily though, I did hedge so I managed to make some $$$. |

Hi Covers,
On April 13th I reached 13 in Streak Survivor ,thus earning a hat and a hoodie. a few days later, I requested a MED hoodie via email, but got no response. Sent another email a couple of weeks ago, and again no response.
You have always been great about sending prizes in the past, so you definitely have my info on file.
Any help in getting this sorted is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

So, the largest bet I ever made was against my own team versus a minnow. At even money I took Switzerlland over Canada +3.5 goals in a warmup prior to the Canadian disaster that was the Turin Olympics. My big mistake was not taking Switzerland outright at 11-1, as they went on to win the game. Which brings me to the IIHF World Championships. I love these under the radar tourneys. Opportunity abounds. I will follow this up, but for now, here are the groups - and remember that huge gaps in talent represent opportunities.
GROUP B Finland USA Czechia Sweden Latvia Norway Britain Austria
GROUP A Germany Canada Switzerland Slovakia Denmark Khazakstan Italy France

@JESUS-SAVES I love the Jays, but I am terrible at betting baseball. |

@SanJoseCupWin We shall see. No Van Vleet. BTW, NBA teams are 0-143 when behind 3-0 in a playoff series. |

For those who don't care, please ignore, but I just wanted to tell my little story given that I have played this game for over a quarter century and I am finally at the top of the table on the streak board, one click away from $1000 US, or about $1300 in my local currency.
While I think we can all agree that a free hat or a few hoodies are very welcome gifts from the fine folks at Covers are a welcome (and thank you Covers, much appreciated).
So I did hedge back only to a small 25% degree and as a long time citizen of Toronnto I have to go where my heart and the money is.
This is no time for sentimentality, my 17th (and lets face it, you need to be pretty lucky to hit 16) pick is PHILLY- 7.5
pRAY FOR mOJO. |

Lord love a duck, many of you folks claim to be aware of some conspiracy that absolutely proves what are dubious theories. . We live an age where folks can be convinced that a political party is running a pedo ring from the basement of some pizza joint.
Any argument against either side is dismissed by:
1. You are deluded by the MSM
or
2. You are in the Trump cult
Either way, y'all are being played.
The real conspiracy if their is one, is to get all of you to hate one another.
Near as I can tell, it seems to be going quite well. |
